Here’s a classic Strawberry Cobbler recipe—sweet, juicy, and topped with a golden biscuit or batter crust. 🍓
Strawberry Cobbler
Ingredients
For the Filling:
- 4 cups fresh strawberries, hulled and halved (or frozen, thawed)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch (optional, for thicker filling)
For the Topping (Biscuits):
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- ⅓ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch baking dish.
2. Prepare the Filling
- In a bowl, mix strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
- Pour the strawberry mixture into the baking dish.
3. Prepare the Topping
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in milk and vanilla to form a soft dough.
4. Assemble Cobbler
- Drop spoonfuls of the dough over the strawberry filling.
- The topping doesn’t need to cover all the berries; gaps are fine.
5. Bake
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the topping is golden and the strawberry filling is bubbly.
6. Serve
- Serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
💡 Tips
- For extra flavor, add ½ teaspoon cinnamon or almond extract to the topping.
- Frozen strawberries may release extra juice—consider draining slightly or increasing cornstarch.
- For a more cake-like topping, spread the batter evenly rather than dropping spoonfuls.
If you want, I can also give a “quick 20-minute strawberry cobbler” version that uses a biscuit mix and is perfect for last-minute desserts.
